Are you stressed?
This sounds like a condition called 'globus hystericus' and is a feeling caused by stress. Does it disappear when you swallow only to reappear when you stop? Then it is definitely the above.
If it is really constricting your breathing then you should seek professional advice.

If it is getting worse by the minute or hour, you should go to the ER immediately or better, call 911. If you think you might have eaten something you're allergic to. Chew 25-50mg of Benadryl and keep checking on it.
